We had a great message this morning, from Pastor Mike Kuhn who spoke on the work of the Lutheran Bible Translators Canada. Pastor Kuhn and his family are preparing to move to Cameroon in early 2013, to pursue the work of translating the Scripture into Nizaa.

You can read more about the family, their plans, and the work of the Lutheran Bible Translators by following the links above. You can also check out the LBT page on Facebook, here.

Above all, remember the Kuhn family and the work of Bible translators in your prayers.

We always thank God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers. We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labour prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction.
